In Breath of the Wild, you’ve slain Lynels, tamed stallions, and collected countless Korok seeds. But now it’s time to unlock the lost memories of the past and uncover the secrets that led to the Calamity. The Captured Memories quest is among the most engaging yet tedious side quests in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Still, it’s such a relevant quest that we’re almost hesitant to label it as side content. As someone who went up against Ganon without getting this done first, we can tell you it’s an absolute game-changer. With 12 lost memories scattered throughout the Breath of the Wild map, players need to use their skills to find the exact location of each one to complete the mission successfully.
